  • freak_nastay shawty🧝🏼‍♀️ (@freak_nastay) reported

    Playing with lag on overwatch is similar to ice skating while having no clue how to ice skate

  • HulkMarcy Hulk Marcy (@HulkMarcy) reported

    I don’t think everything merged correctly on overwatch. I don’t have my Reinhardt gold weapon anymore and I know I had it on my console account. Anyone else have this problem?

    @BlizzardCS I'm still missing my cosmetics from overwatch 1 on my overwatch 2 account after successfully merging, is this an issue that's still being looked at?

  • Kamakaz2002 سلمان الأحمد (@Kamakaz2002) reported

    I dont know what's happening on overwatch 2 but I've been experiencing something wierd first i cannot enter the game it takes a while for me to enter the game for some reason + when i entered and played comp it kicks me out and suspense me did anyone have this issue #Overwatch2

  • itscelinaa__ cel (@itscelinaa__) reported

    @boltzsnipez I don't even know what my ping for overwatch is but i constantly have the little orange thing on the side telling me I'm lag spiking and then when I try to heal, everyone starts teleporting everywhere and it's just not worth it

  • wolfy_xoxxo Zyphur (@wolfy_xoxxo) reported

    Sad I might take out overwatch out of my bio 😔 too poor since I have cricket phone service. After playing seasons 1-27 and getting level 1000+ many good memories. @PlayOverwatch

  • AlfaerHello Alfaer Hello (ChewiiiFF) (@AlfaerHello) reported

    @JezCorden "even ps5" ok, but your article is a big WHAT IF, but I have to ask you, WHAT IF, xbox decides to not release any other diablo, overwatch sequels, new blizzard IPs or activision IPs, or cod sequels (after the deal ends), spyros, crash sequels, etc. etc. in playstation

  • dirtmaster3000 Dirt (@dirtmaster3000) reported

    @Reinforce I can't believe you're serious about this honestly. It's like the most non-issue thing I can think of in Overwatch.

  • SoundviewTTV Rachel (@SoundviewTTV) reported

    @PowerGPU @SoundviewTTV I want to get back to streaming and part of that is having GTA for roleplaying with friends and Overwatch- and I currently run into disk drive errors and rendering issues for both

  • KarKeys4363 KarKeys (@KarKeys4363) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent My first competitive game off of my 8-hour suspension, removed from servers again. Now at a 20 hour suspension. This issue is ONLY in comp, I can play quick play and arcade for hours with no issue. Take my suspensions away. #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • Seis_seis Phil Yaccuci 🫣 (@Seis_seis) reported

    My overwatch 2 is definitely broken my bullets do no damage to them but they can use the same character and im almost instantly dead

  • idontus86329653 idontusethisappforanythingparents (@idontus86329653) reported

    @PlayOverwatch BRO YOUR GAME IS *** THE ONE TIME I HET A TEAM THAT IS THE SAME RANK AS ME YOU DISCONNECT **** YOU OVERWATCH

  • boisonrx Big_BoisonRX (@boisonrx) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Please fix your game if you want people to play it. You'd think with such a botched launch y'all would be trying harder to fix it. Overwatch 2 is the most technically messed up game since Cyberpunk launched, but at least cyberpunk got a glow up.FIX YOUR GARBAGE GAME

  • ZacianGummies Sammi (@ZacianGummies) reported

    @lylavaIorant Everyone gets so excited for overwatch 2 and forgot in the process that it’s the same developers that couldn’t fix the first game 🙈

  • BluePone123 Blue Thunder 🔞 (🎂 Dec. 11) (@BluePone123) reported

    Literally just **** Overwatch. It does NOT take ****** 2 weeks to fix an ultimate glitch. I didn't put all those hours into a character just for them to be smited randomly, what the hell are you guys doing at blizzard? Save our beep boop boy, please.

  • Pompkons Pompkons (@Pompkons) reported

    overwatch itself is pretty fun but like everytime i try and play it i get massive frame drops or the game lags super hard and ive tried to fix it but it just dosent work + every game there is some absolutely rancid piece of **** player who probably has cartoon stink lines coming

  • Helcontra Ezel 🎃 (@Helcontra) reported

    Since I’ve been mistaken as a women multiple times at work cause of my customer service over the phone I need to go on overwatch quick play and use my customer service voice and make them think I’m a cute girl

  • CodyGentle3 Cody Gentle (@CodyGentle3) reported

    @OVERWATCH FIX YOUR ******* GAME

  • Kysol Scott (@Kysol) reported

    My interest in Overwatch was lost years ago, but after hearing so many people complain about 2, I decided to try it out again. No Bastion due to “glitch” but there’s still 76 to mess around with. Player base is still a toxic mess, but that was expected.
